Discussion: Voting Theory
Plurality Voting
In the following video, the author presents an argument that plurality voting is inhibiting the growth of additional political parties in the U.S. other than the Republican and Democratic parties that typically dominate ballots. Excuse the appeal to vote for a specific party, and just pay attention to the host's description of plurality voting, and the comparisons and contrasts made with other democracies' voting methods. https://youtu.be/DhLjz_ptv3gWhat You Will Do
